I understand your request to be for:

between ASADA and the Minister responsible for ASADA (at that time),
together with copies of all advice & correspondence (both electronic and
print) in preparing and finalising these documents.

If you believe that the scope of your request has not been interpreted
correctly, please advise ASADA as soon as possible on the contact details
listed at the conclusion of this email.

Your request was received on Monday 4 December 2017 and the 30 day
statutory period for processing your request commences from the day after

happens.

You will be notified of any charges in relation to your request as soon as

charge.

Please note that information released under the FOI Act may later be

unreasonable.

Dear Mr Read

I refer to your request dated 4 December 2017 seeking access to:

Copies of all documents created from February 1 2014 – July 31 2014

The current due date for your request is 3 January 2018. Due to the number

January 2018), ASADA requires additional time to finalise your request.
ASADA seeks your agreement under section 15AA of the FOI Act to extend the
timeframe for the processing of your request by 14 days (to Wednesday 17
January 2018).

We would be grateful if you could provide a response to our request by COB

Dear Mr Read

I refer to your request for access to documents under the FOI Act,
relating to the tenure and resignation of ASADA CEO Aurora Andruska.

As your request covers documents concerning personal information relating
to a third party, ASADA is required to consult with the party concerned,
pursuant to section 27A of the FOI Act, before making a decision on the
release of those documents.

The consultation mechanism under section 27A of the FOI Act applies when
we believe a third party concerned may reasonably wish to make a
submission that the document should be exempt from disclosure. We will
take into account any comments we receive from the third party however the
final decision about whether to grant you access to the documents you have
requested rests with ASADA.

Accordingly, the period for processing your request has been extended by
30 days in order to allow ASADA time to consult with the third party,
pursuant to section 15(6) of the FOI Act. The processing period for your
request will now end on Friday 16 February 2018. We note, however, that
subject to when a response is received from the third party, we do not
anticipate requiring the full 30 days and a decision should be provided
prior to that date.
